7 Things You Didn’t Know About Me Meme

Ryan Bretag tagged me in the lastest meme doing the round, so here are 7 things you didn’t know about me:

1. I’m a Cumbrian – I grew up in the Lake District, quite near to the infamous Sellafield nuclear power station – but I don’t glow in the dark!
2. I’m an Evertonian – There weren’t many football teams in the Lakes so I ended up a Toffee and I have watched 25 years of poor football ever since!
3. I have 3 cats – A little over the top.
4. I’m nearly 30 – Which is a bit scary!
5. I’m addicted to gadgets – See my MacBook post.
6. I’m addicted to Football Manager, the football management sim has wasted many autumn/winter evenings since I was about 13 and every year since.
7. I cycle to school – Shunning a car and braving the Mancunian weather saves me a fortune and gives me a bit of exercise each day too. (Once in a while the bike actually goes up a mountain too!)

So I’d better pass this on, looking at my Google Reader feed, the next 7 educators who were waiting in my feed and don’t seem to have done this are (scientific I know!):
